[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 404795, member: 2976"] Ah yes, that's the one. Barney/King Solomon found it though he didn't say where at the time. Pretty interesting. It's the only one like that I've seen with my own eyes. I can't speak to how often they are found attached to host rock in other places but I've never seen it or even met anyone who has ever heard of it occurring on the Anakie field, barring the sole example of the one embedded in the Mount Leura plug. Given that it's one of the worlds major sapphire-producing fields and has seen tens of thousands of miners both small and large digging there for over a century, it's clearly a rare phenomenon in my area at least.
